SCENE 1 CHINATOWN SAN FRANCISCO, CA (Night. Chinese parade along the crowded streets. A young Asian man, JOHNNY LO, walks through the crowd nervously looking behind him. He jumps as firecrackers explode near him. Runs to a dark decrepit apartment building. Oriental background music. A Chinese symbol is painted in white paint on the door. He touches the paint and finds that it is still wet. He enters the dark apartment. Suddenly, a flashlight is turned on and pointed directly into LO’s eyes. He can only see the outline of the man holding the flashlight. The Man Holding Flashlight speaks Cantonese threateningly. LO replies, as if desperate to explain something.)

MAN HOLDING FLASHLIGHT: [You knew the rules. Now you pay the price.]

JOHNNY LO: [I told you I wanted out.]

MAN: [You start, you finish.]

(Man Holding Flashlight is not impressed and flips open a switchblade. LO screams and attacks Man Holding Flashlight, knocking him to the floor with a stab wound to his right shoulder. LO then turns in shock to see three Asian men, their faces painted. They stare at LO.)

(His flashlight briefly illuminates the three Asian Men With Painted Faces, then they disappear. He hears banging from the operating crematorium.)

NIGHT WATCHMAN: Holy Moses.

(Looking through a peephole in the crematorium, NIGHT WATCHMAN sees LO screaming and writhing in pain as flames engulf him.)

SCENE 3 (Funeral home next day. MULDER and SCULLY observe the burned body with LIEUTENANT NEARY of the San Francisco PD.) .

SCULLY: What a way to go. Have you seen this MO before, Detective? Men cremated alive?

LIEUTENANT NEARY: Yeah. Third time this year.

MULDER: Eleventh time, actually. There were three in Seattle, three in Los Angeles and two in Boston, all Chinese men between the ages of 20 and 40. All recent immigrants.

LIEUTENANT NEARY: We weren’t able to determine any of that until just recently. The other two bodies were much more badly burned. We got lucky with this one.

MULDER: Lucky? That’s an interesting word for it.

(SCULLY taps a glass eye in the burned body.)

MULDER: You got any leads on this case, Detective? Any thoughts or ideas?

LIEUTENANT NEARY: We’ve had a big influx of immigrants from Hong Kong trying to get out before 1997. And we’ve seen stepped-up gang activity in the Chinese community, but so far we can’t tie these deaths to anyone or anything.

(MULDER shines his flashlight inside the crematorium. He sees a white painted symbol.)

MULDER: You got anybody that can read or speak Chinese?

LIEUTENANT NEARY: Yeah, Glen Chao. He's right over there. Why?

MULDER: Will you get him? I want to see if he can, uh, read this for me.
